Tree Hugger

Flower said, "I wish I was a tree" The tree said, "I wish I could be A different kind of tree" The cat wished that it was a bee The turtle wished that it could fly Really high into the sky Over rooftops and then dive Deep into the sea And in the sea there is a fish A fish that has a secret wish A wish to be a big cactus With a pink flower on it And in the sea there is a fish A fish that has a secret wish A wish to be a big cactus With a pink flower on it And the flower would be Its offering of love to the desert And the desert so dry and lonely That the creatures all appreciate the effort Et le jackalope a dit "Je voudrais être un yeti Pour voler dans la nuit Et m'en aller loin d'ici" Mais le yeti a dit "Je voudrais être un monstre marin Pour pouvoir rentrer dans la mer De tous les requins" And the rattlesnake said "I wish I had hands so I could hug you like a man" And then the cactus said, "But don't you understand?" "My skin is covered with sharp spikes That'll stab you like a thousand knives A hug would be nice But hug my flower with your eyes" Till the flower said, "I wish I was a tree" The tree said, "I wish I could be A different kind of tree" The cat wished that it was a bee The turtle wished that it could fly Really high into the sky Over rooftops and then dive Deep into the sea And in the sea there is a fish A fish that has a secret wish A wish to be a big cactus With a pink flower on it And in the sea there is a fish A fish that has a secret wish A wish to be a big cactus With a pink flower on it And the flower would be Its offering of love to the desert And the desert so dry and lonely That the creatures all appreciate the effort
